 In the basement of the new building are the stove shops, where the castings are put together, and the stoves blaeked and got ready for shipment. Here is also located the immense boiler and engine-rooms, where the constant throb of the machinery would lead one to think he stood in the center of a huge machine shop.
 Two floors in the new building are used for stock, where one would get lost in the labyrinths of passages formed by the separs ton of the different kinds and grades Of goods. Here are kept duplicates of all the different articles which are exhibited through out this vast establishment. and for the first time we saw nearly two acres of surface filled from the floor to the ceiling, with tier upon tier of all kinds of furniture. Most of the goods here are in what is termed knocked down" form. That is, it is more or less taken apart in order to save room in packing it away
 We could go on and fill columns with an interesting description of the various de partments, but we must ourtail.

AcknOWIedg edgmentsF From the ". w. CA.
 The managers of ths Young Women's Christian association desire to express their sincere thanks to all who enabled them to offer so agree able an entertainment to the public on the evening of December 7. Espe- cially are they indebted to the Yale orches- tra, Glee club and Banjo club for their en- joyable music, to the ladies who assisted them so ably with song and recitation, and to Mr. Steinert for the free use of piano. The beautiful hangings from the establishment of Mir. Enfagian and the lanterns from the Household Brass company did much to orna- ment the stage and make the scene attractive. To all who worked together so cordially, pro- viding delight for the children as well as en- tertainment for the elders, they again offer their thanks. Last, but not least, the mana gers would express their gratitude to the press of the city, to whose kind aid they feel that much of the success of the enterprise was due.
 Over $7O0 WAS paid into the treasury of the Young Women's Christian association as the result.

He was general favorite with his employers and his comra es, endearing himself to all by his kindness and willingness to lend his aid wher ever it was required. A large delegation of his New Haven friends will attend his funeral which will be held in Hartford Wednesday.
